Looking for AI Tool to Automate Project Tasks on My PC – Full Automation?
I’m interested in using an AI tool that can handle most of the development process on my PC. Specifically, I’d like it to manage tasks like setting up integrations, coding, and creating a user interface with minimal input from me. Are there any AI solutions that can handle this level of automation reliably? Would love to hear recommendations or personal experiences with such tools

Show HN: I Made a Free Personal Assistant API – Order an Uber W Natural Language
I was going to make a whole ChatGPT-generated post filled with emojis and junk, but I hate reading that stuff so I'll keep it short and sweet. I wanted a personal assistant that could do things for me -- I want to order an Uber using natural language. I want to buy food using natural language... etc. But I couldn't, so I made my own personal assistant that could.
I made this project totally free such that anyone can build on top of it. Wanna make a business on top of my API? Go for it. Wanna use it to make a personal home assistant? Go for it. If you want to create your own tools on top of Pal (let's say you want to enable Pal to control your Roomba), you can create your own tools in the dev portal. The only catch is that I've rate limited it to 2 requests per minute per user because I can only afford so many API credits.
I was going to charge people for this, but as a Developer, I know how frustrating it is trying to build when everything is pay walled. Go wild fellas, but please don't abuse it. I put a lot into developing this. If you'd like to support me, feel free to donate.
Anyways, check it out at https://www.meetpal.ai and navigate to the API subsection in the header.
